Get Right

Produced by Rich Harrison and originally written as an Usher outtake, the track was recorded in 2004 and acquired by Jennifer Lopez for her fifth studio album 'Rebirth'; Harrison built the production around a sample from the Embryo's funk recording, applying the same horn-driven, live-percussion aesthetic he had deployed on Beyoncé's 'Crazy in Love' and Amerie's '1 Thing'. Released in January 2005 on Epic Records as the lead single from 'Rebirth', 'Get Right' reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one in the United Kingdom, arriving at a moment of renewed commercial momentum for Lopez and drawing attention to Harrison as one of the most distinctive producers working in mainstream R&B. The track consolidated Rich Harrison's reputation as the defining sample-driven funk producer of the mid-2000s R&B boom and remains one of Lopez's most commercially successful singles, frequently cited alongside Harrison's other work of the period as a cohesive body of production that reshaped the sound of pop-R&B in the early part of the decade.
